Guys, I need some help to understand how it works properly.Compared to the past, now if you buy from outside the EU I’ve seen that eBay shows the VAT to be added. Before this didn’t happen, and sometimes I found myself (not always) paying a surplus to the postman (even though I never really understood in detail what it was. I knew you just had to pay) Now I’ve won an auction for an item, shipping from Australia.In the email it saysThe winning bid: AU $89,00 VAT will be applied for an amount of +AU $19,58 + shipping shipping is 55,21 AU But if I go inside eBay there’s nothing written about VAT.If I pay on eBay... is eBay itself the one applying the VAT?Then besides that, is there also a risk of having to pay customs duties too? who decides the amount of the customs duties?Well, I’m really confused about this topic.thanks in advance
